The Escape takes it up a notch for 2018 with a 2.5L Duratec 4-cylinder engine producing 168hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. If you’re looking for a more fuel-efficient drive, the brand-new 1.5L turbocharged I-4 EcoBoost only uses 7.8L/100km worth of fuel. For those that want more power, the 2.0L EcoBoost delivers that every time, with a horsepower of 245-hp and a torque of 275 lb-ft with its four cylinders. Meanwhile, it still delivers great fuel efficiency with just 8.0L/100km on the highway. You also have the option to upgrade your Ford Escape with the Intelligent 4WD System, which continuously monitors traction and road conditions so you can conquer any terrain you’re driving on. The 2018 Escape can also tow up to 2,000 lbs with the 1.5-litre EcoBoost engine. However, if you still need to tow more, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine gives a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The available trailer sway control technology also allows you to keep your cargo from drifting and swaying while driving on the road.

While stepping into the 2018 Escape, you’re immediately greeted by the sporty and comfortable V-shaped leather-trimmed heated seats and steering wheel with the SE and Titanium Sport Appearance Package. While the Ford Escape is already spacious by default, you can make even more room with up to 1925 litres of space with the rear seats folded down. Meanwhile, you can stay connected to all your important information with the Ford SYNC system. It offers both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can take advantage of its smartphone integration no matter what phone you may have. Standard on the base S model, the rearview backup camera on the excellent touchscreen display lets you reverse with ease and without hesitation. Also available for the Ford Escape are a navigation system, panoramic sunroof, Sony 10-speaker sound system, and more.
